Canadialander Question

In an international sledding competition in Canada, is it legal to harness polar bears to your sled so they will kill all the other dogs and win you the race? If not, can you import animals like elephants or pandas from your home country?

The harnessing of Polar bears is legal, as long as:

n<1/2 x - 2

n being the number of polar bears

x being the number of other racers in race.

Other animals allowed would be:
Jaguars
Llamas
Koalas
Komodo Dragons
mOOses
Caribou

Elephants are too messy and pandas too cute

Answering the second part of the question first - no discrimination please.
. Kangaroos should be permitted as they will always be a jump ahead.
. Koalas are a must, because the viscious little bastards will claw you to pieces if they think they are being left out of anything. Don't let that sleepy look fool you. They are on a permanent high from the gum trees and capable of anything.

In regards to the first part of the question 'is it legal to harness polar bears to your sled so they will kill all the other dogs and win you the race?' I would have to say both yes and no. You can harness them and they could try to kill of the other sled drawing animals but you have to remember, these would be Canadialander polar bears and therefore natural born losers, so it is to be expected that they would lose both the fight and the race.

Most international sled competitions use a sled. The sled, called a luge, is of wood, plastic, or fiberglass construction, with wide runners faced with steel. The maximum weight of the sled is 23 kg (50.7 pounds) for singles and 27 kg (59.5 pounds) for doubles. Doubles races are open to both genders, but the event is typically run by all-male teams. Luge competition is often held on a bobsled run. Runs vary in length but typically range between 1,000 metres and 1,300 metres (approximately three-fourths of a mile) for men and between 800 metres and 1,050 metres (approximately half a mile) for women. Speeds reach up to 145 km (90 miles) per hour as competitors navigate the icy turns. A slider wears an aerodynamic bodysuit and spiked gloves, which enables the athlete to “paddle” the ice at the start of the race, propelling him down the course. A helmet is mandatory.
